you know if you want saddle shoes that strikes me as the sort of thing you could really easily find a nice vintage pair of

i know, right? i haven't seen any, but not for want of thrifting. i am v cautious abt ebaying shoes, tho.

i have purchased 4 pairs of new shoes in the past month, and 3 of them have been heels! this is v unusual behaviour for me but i am v happy.

the second pair look way better on than i expected AND they're ridic comfy.

i feel like when i go to buffalo exchange i always see many many pairs of saddle shoes

are you in LA elmo or am i imagining things

the late great, Monday, 23 April 2012 02:36 (fourteen years ago)

Just1n3 those are great shoes!
I want to get some flat oxfords or something for teaching but not have them look like "teacher shoes," this is probably crazy.

does Red Stripe work like poppers? (Abbbottt), Monday, 23 April 2012 02:41 (fourteen years ago)

v, you must be imagining things because i am in rhode island!

johnston murphy google search will find you them somewhere.

just bought the below brogues today, most i've ever spent on a pair of shoes but have wanted grensons for ages and they are so nicely made.

I'm going to allow this! (LocalGarda), Monday, 23 April 2012 21:26 (fourteen years ago)

I have kind of coveted Grensons since I first saw them at Soula in Brooklyn a few years ago, even before I think they had much market presence in the US.

i don't believe in zimmerman (Hurting 2), Monday, 23 April 2012 21:31 (fourteen years ago)

a few weeks ago they had a concession in selfridges in london and i got talking to the attendant who recognised me from trying on a pair of boots in this tiny grenson shop which is near where i live. had a long conversation about shoes... then she offered me discount. <3

I'm going to allow this! (LocalGarda), Monday, 23 April 2012 21:33 (fourteen years ago)

What are they priced like in London? They are still kind of prohibitively expensive for me here.

i don't believe in zimmerman (Hurting 2), Monday, 23 April 2012 21:35 (fourteen years ago)

those were £195, i wouldn't be making a habit of that but got my bonus recently and i figure i'll have them for life. i've seen them on sites like coggles or elsewhere a little bit reduced, not that exact pair but you can find nice pairs for £130ish if you dig around, assuming you can get the size. they fit v much below your usual shoe size ime.

I'm going to allow this! (LocalGarda), Monday, 23 April 2012 21:45 (fourteen years ago)

also lots of second hand pairs on ebay

I'm going to allow this! (LocalGarda), Monday, 23 April 2012 21:46 (fourteen years ago)

can anyone recommend some good inserts for high-heeled shoes, to make them a little more bearable?

just1n3, Wednesday, 25 April 2012 03:18 (fourteen years ago)

one month passes...

i got these clarks on impulse - i figured i could do with a proper comfy pair of heels for the summer. but was i was searching for a pic to post, i discovered i could have gotten them for about $45 less on amazon :/

cute!

quincie, Friday, 1 June 2012 13:14 (fourteen years ago)

Newest shoe obsession = Saltwater sandals. So far I've got them in the red pictured and also in tan.

http://littlebylittleblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/saltwater-sandals-edit01-logo_resize-640x425.jpg

I love them so much.

wolf kabob (ENBB), Friday, 1 June 2012 13:16 (fourteen years ago)

I pretty much want them in every color now and at $35 a pop it's pretty tempting.

wolf kabob (ENBB), Friday, 1 June 2012 13:17 (fourteen years ago)

great shoes but I also want that nail polish color!

quincie, Friday, 1 June 2012 13:17 (fourteen years ago)

x-post - Quince those are really cute.

wolf kabob (ENBB), Friday, 1 June 2012 13:18 (fourteen years ago)

Yeah - it's a good color!

wolf kabob (ENBB), Friday, 1 June 2012 13:18 (fourteen years ago)

Shoes I ordered to wear to my friend's wedding – I didn't want flats, but something still comfy enough to be on my feet for four or five hours

Word of Wisdom Robots (Abbbottt), Sunday, 3 June 2012 16:06 (fourteen years ago)

I like those Saltwater sandals! I should get a pair.

Word of Wisdom Robots (Abbbottt), Sunday, 3 June 2012 16:06 (fourteen years ago)

Aaaaabbot those are RAD!!!

how did I get here? why am I in the whiskey aisle? this is all so (Laurel), Sunday, 3 June 2012 16:19 (fourteen years ago)

Abbott I LOVE those. Let us know how they hold up comfort wise.

The Saltwaters come in tons of colors. They're also really comfortable. Unless you need a lot of arch support cause they don't have any of that. Just a warning.

(The diff sites have some diff colors)

wolf kabob (ENBB), Sunday, 3 June 2012 17:28 (fourteen years ago)

I think I may get yellow next. I might be a little obsessed but they supposedly last for years so why not.

wolf kabob (ENBB), Sunday, 3 June 2012 17:29 (fourteen years ago)

Yes, the yellow are v cute and summery!

Word of Wisdom Robots (Abbbottt), Sunday, 3 June 2012 18:02 (fourteen years ago)

I like the orange ones, too, but I think I have enough orange sandals (most recent I got were these weird Roald Dahl ones):

Word of Wisdom Robots (Abbbottt), Sunday, 3 June 2012 18:08 (fourteen years ago)

Oh I like those too. Yeah, I already have orange sandals.

wolf kabob (ENBB), Sunday, 3 June 2012 18:09 (fourteen years ago)

many xposts to Laurel last month re resoles for boots; I have a pair of Justins that I need to get resoled. There's a cobbler in Sac but I'm reading a lot of mixed reviews and I don't want to take a swing and a miss on a pair of $$ boots. I found these guys online and I think I'm going to try them out -- seems pretty reasonable pricing and they have okay reviews around various forums.

wolf kabob (ENBB), Tuesday, 12 June 2012 17:44 (fourteen years ago)

GORG. hs you have the most fabulous taste.

aw, means a lot coming from you! i have the most beyond-my-means taste tbh.

horseshoe, Tuesday, 12 June 2012 17:52 (fourteen years ago)

those wedges look so much like caramel, i suspect they are gooey / sticky / delicious

Dang those are nice!

just1n3, Tuesday, 12 June 2012 18:03 (fourteen years ago)

Those $110 clarks I bought aren't anymore comfortable than my $50 madonna shoes >:[

^^if anyone is interested in an investment. thankfully, they're not available in my size.

xp oh no!

horseshoe, Tuesday, 12 June 2012 18:04 (fourteen years ago)

Tbh I think it is more an issue with my feet than the shoes. And the madonna wedges are more comfy than I expected!

just1n3, Tuesday, 12 June 2012 18:07 (fourteen years ago)

agh those are pretty

No kidding; those are fantastic, Amanda!

ordered myself a new pair of Justins today. I have a pair of vintage-looking Western style boots, but I've been hankering for a plain pair of black ones for godknows how long.

really like the cowboy/biker cross-style. hope they look okay on
